Abstract
Shallow hydrogen donors (H-donors) were formed in a Ge1 - x Si x (x = 0.012) alloy by the implantation of low-energy protons followed by heat treatment at 275°C The electrical properties of these donors have been studied using the method of capacitance-voltage characteristics. It is established that a certain fraction of the H-donors exhibit bistability, whereby their concentration changes reversibly when the sample temperature is cycled within 100-200°C. The properties of reversible H-donors in germanium are analogous to those of the bistable H-donors in silicon.
